Forecasting dust storms is a complicated matter. A new study was able to predict storms in our region with a high level of accuracy - and thereby outline how artificial intelligence can be harnessed to understand processes in the atmosphere

The moment of truth has arrived - will we hear about new physics this week?

After almost two decades accompanied by technical and financial challenges, on the XNUMXth of April we heard, perhaps, exciting news from Permilab Laboratories in the United States. The experiment run for the second time was set up to measure the muon's magnetic moment and if a deviation is detected, even the smallest, it may hint at a new elementary particle in nature
The scientists took advantage of the fact that chirality affects an electron property called "spin", which is characterized by two states - "spin up" and "spin down" - similar to the spinning of a spinning top clockwise or counterclockwise. Illustration: Prof. Ron Naaman, Weizmann Institute

Researchers demonstrate a bubble produced from light and used to propel micro-particles. Panel (a) shows the circular particle, with a diameter of 42 μm, and the laser beam, with a size of 405 nm, as the dark and light circles, respectively. In panel (b), 40 milliseconds later, the microcircle has traveled ten times its distance. Source: Ben Gurion University.
